VERY SERIOUS.
A New Law Affecting the Relations Between
Merchants and Buyers.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct l9-An innocent-look-
ing little law small that it slipped through
the last Congress without more than passing at
tention. is about to have serious effect upon
the business of large Eastern merchants, aud
will entirely revolutionize the credit system
listing between the East and West. This appar-
emily trifling law limits the jurisdiction of the
United States courts to suits involving over
81 900, exclusive of interest. The old law had
fixed the limit at $500 The effect of this
change as already developed in the West.
is TO cut off the trade between East
ern merchants and the Western
dealer who buys less than So 900 of goods, and to
direct the immense trade into the hands Of
Western jobbing houses 1t is in short, blow
to Eastern merchants, and to Western credit.
and is a blessing to Western jobbers. The rea-
sops for this already becoming apparent in
the West Under the old rule an immense
credit was built up between the East and West.
All that Western tradesman needed was a let
ter of introduction from responsible parties. and
he was assured credit in New York. Even
though unknown he was trusted. for the msr-
chant had recourse TO the federal courts. where
however all bills of goods less than So 900 cease
to have the protection of the federal courts.
The New York merchant must collect all such
bills before the cross-road circuit courts Of the
West, and must suit his credit 10 tho onerous
collection laws of the different States. The diff
fculties which this makes for the trade are nu-
merous

The Doxeyology having been sung, it is
certainly time for the citizens of Indianapolis
to awake to the fact that the city has no
natural gas and that it never will have under
the present ordinance, as the Journal has in
sisted from the time it was first passed with
the intention of keeping gas out. What is
needed is such modification Of the ordinance
as will induce somebody, some company, to
pipe gas into the city. If fair ordinance
should be granted, and fair price for heat
ing purposes fixed, that will compete with the
fuel of to-day, it would manifestly be to the
interest of the people to welcome such COM
pany. It will cost large sum of money to
bring in natural gas, and the company that
invests its capital should have liberal treat
ment and hope of profit.

A SPECIAL correspondent, who evidently
knows something about crowds, wires from
Atlanta that there are possibly fifty thou
sand visitors here. Most of them live in
Georgia, but Alabama is we'll represented, and
South Carolina as WE'LL" And the people
were feeced numerically. The correspondent
says the proprietor of "a dirty little hole of a
tavern" actually charged him and three 9TH
ers $50 for the use of small single room for
twenty-four hours, and this without meals
simply the occupancy of the ROOM" Of the
wonderful Piedmont exposition, he says: cit
may be magnificent display in the Southern
country, and go down to posterity as glorious

that the show is by no means as good as the
